Social Question

So, eHarmony matched me with a guy I work with - what do I do?

We work for the same company in the same city, but at different offices. I see him on occasion and we know each other’s names, but that’s about it. He’s a nice guy and I might be interested in getting to know him better, but I’m not sure how to approach this. Should I just leave it alone? Do I send a message to go ahead and break the ice to get the awkwardness out of the way? I could sure use some advice on this awkward situation.

You’re both on eHarmony to meet people so yeah, send him a message. If it were me then I wouldn’t bring up knowing who he is yet, that might be kind of fun to see if he notes the details if they’re in your profile, it might be an icebreaker for him as far as conversation. Sounds like an adventure to me :)

1) If you are worried about company policy: Matches are not automatically bidirectional. He will not know that he has been sent to you as a match. You might even have been sent to him as a match already. So you don’t necessarily need to do anything.
2) If you are worried about company policy but want to meet him anyway: write him a nice note saying that company policy frowns on “fraternization” so you need to close the match. But you can write it in such a way that he knows you’re in the same company, and he will figure out a way to contact you…
3) If you aren’t worried about the company policy, write him a nice note introducing yourself.
Good Luckl!
